RAILWAY EARNINGS.

THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE DRAKE
COMMITTEE OF THE TEXAS AND PACIFIC
CORRECTED.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Feb. Robert Fleming,
ember of the Wistar-Fleming Texas and
Pacific committee, said with respect to
the statement which the Drake committee
have repeatedly circulated to the effect
that the middle division earned surplus
over the interest on the consolidated
mortgage, that such statement had no
foundation in fact, but on the contrary,
that the middle division for 1886 and 1885
had not earned the interest on the bonds
prior TO the income bonds. The mistake
made by the Drake committee arose from
the receivers having placed in their
special account in 1886 all expenditures
made in excess in 1885 in the matter Of
cross ties. For example, in 1885 the COM
pany did little or nothing. Last year
under the receivers full average years
renewals was done, but all in excess of
the amount put in in 1885 had been
charged to this special account.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
gross earnings for January will show an
Increase of over 100000, and those of
the Lake Shore about the same amount.

RAREFIED AIR AND MANIA.
Thin -Bloodsd People Who Cut Up Strange
Capers in Colorado.
New York Morr ing Journal.


New York Morn ing Journal.
at is Strange how some people art
affected by the light air and COCO feet alti
tude of Cheyenne" said Policeman Bear
in recent conversation, as recorded in
the Cheyenne Sun.
IA short time ago book agent reached
here from Denver. He was rather a ca
daverous-looking chap, who didL't seem
to pack around more blood in his consti-
tuition than the law allows. AS the train
neared Cheyenne he began to glare around
the car as if he was afraid somebody was
going 10 slug him, and when the news
agent passed through peddling some
oranges he fairly yelled for them to take
him away. He was afraid of being killed.
When he reached here he got spells in the
same way, and l had q good deal of
bother in soothing him.
"When he wasn't fighty he told me
that he had often been troubled that way
when he reached any toierably high alti-
tude. The least excitement brought on q
fresh spell. l learned afterward that ne
never had any such attacks at home. In
my experience at the depot here have
known of many people who have been
troubled in the same way. This seems to
be specially true of ladies, who grow
worse until they begin to descend he
hill from Sherman to Laramie City, and
on inquiring from the trainmen l learn
at afterward the 90 through all right"
"You remember that little fellow from
Nevada, who cut up such tantrums at the
depot here few months dgo?" asked Il e
Judge.
The listener inttmated that ne hadn't
forgotten the circumstances.
"Well, that fellow began to show the
effect of the altitude as the train neared
Cheyenne. By the time he had reached
here he had barricaded himself in the re-
firing room, and was about TO throw him
self out of the window when the train
men forced their way in and caught him.
He was sure somebody wss going to kill
him. l got him away from the crowd
and told him I'd protect him, aid finally
got him quoted down. The trainmen
looked after him until they began to de-
scend from Sherman, and soon afterWard
he appeared to be as sane as anybody.
at was only few days later that an
old lady on the train was taken in the
same way. She got it into her head that
a colored woman who sat in the far end
of the Car had foul designs upon her.
Until the train reached Cheyenne the un-
fortunate daugh er Of Africa did not dare
move muscle for fear of throwing the
old lady into convulsions. Cases OF this
sort turn up often"
what sort Of people seem to be most
affected that Way?" was asked.
"They are generally thin blooded, nerv-
Gus people, who, il they are in fair health,
have got but little vitality back of them,"
was the reply. every nervous old women
are very often the victims. A slight jar
or shock sets them going, and then the
depot rHstler has picnic on his hands
aud no mistake. Their mania always as
sumes the same phase-they always be-
lieve somebody is going TO kill them"

4 Boy Arrested for Killing George Page
Near San Antonio.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Feb. AFTER ran
sacking the city all night, the officers
this morning just before day arrested
Theodore Yates, the murderer of George
Page, whose body was found by two
tramps on the Southern Pacific road a
few miles west of the city yesterday.
When arrested Yates was insensibly
drunk st the Washington theater, low
class variety dive, where he speut
nearly all the money he took from
the pockets OF his victim, Sl20,
and $40 as brought out in the coroner's
inquest. Page and Yates left the city to-
gether Monday to leisurely walk their
way to California. They camped Monday
night at the spot where Pages body was
found. While asleep Yates shot him in
the head with a 32-caliber pistol, rifed
his pockets of all he had and returned to
the city. Page was an honest and indus
trious Englishman, and Yates, who is
not yet twenty-one, belongs 20 very re-
spectacle family in this city.

San ANTONIO, TEX, Feb. DIR. G.
B. Johnson, well known cattle raiser
and breeder of this city, received the sad
intelligence this morning of the murder
of his brother, Mr. Richard Johnson, post
master at CRncan, Uvslde county, yesterday
forenoon in the postoffice at that place by
q man said to be named Ray. The par
tlcularS received are meager, but enough
has been learned to knew that Ray was
wanted in some other county by
officers who learned through the
rangers that he was in Uvalde, and
they were to send papers to them. Ray
somehow got word of the matter. H
heard that the rangers were after him
He went to the postmaster yesterday and
and asked if any papers had come
for his arrest. The postmaster
said yes, and that he had bet
ter not go away as the officers
would soon arrive to arrest him. 1t is
supposed, but not known that the post
master attempted to detain Ray. AS
Ray drew his pistol the post
master threw shot gun to his
shoulder. Both fired at the same
time, aud the postmaster was instantly
killed. Ray fl d and escaped to the
country, but was captured by the Sheriff
and brought into Uvalde last night.

Denver and the Atchison.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 2.-It is reported
here that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad has purchased portion of
sn old right of way and will during the
coming summer build line of its own
into Denver and probably beyond. This
franchise is that Of the old Golden and
south Platte Railroad, project
which was set on foot early in the
seventies, but which fell through after
$500, 600 had been spent in construction
work. That project was for system of
lines to connect Denver with Golden and
several mOuntsin towns, and to run
northward from Denver. Jay Gould aud
Sidney Dillon Of New York, and Cover
nor Evans, Governor Loveland and Ep-
stain Berthoud of Colorado, were behind
the scheme, snd it collapsed by Jay Gould
suddenly drawing out. A good portion of
the graded line was subsequently pur-
chased by the Union Pacific, and the
Julesburg branch of that line was con-
structed over it. The portion bought by
the SAINTS Fe runs from Acequis, point
on the Denver and Rio Grande Rotd,
nineteen miles from Denver, and enters
this city on the west. The grade is CON-
plete for that distance, and the bridges for
the most part are in. The Saints Fe now

in the papal treasury by Pho Mono, from
the donations of the faithful, known as
Peters pence, from the sale Of titles, dec
orationS and religious privileges, and
from numerous ecclesiastical fees and
stipends. The Pope Is not too much alb
sorbed in ethereal matters to be indiffer-
ent to advantageous speculation. he
subscribes to Italian loans, but buys
his securities on the best terms,
and, being a thoroughly practical man,
safely lodges his profits in good old
British consols. But, like mad King Lud-
wig of Bavsria, the sovereign pontif has
mania for building. He has spent large
sums on pomp and on decorations, for
the purpose, as cunt Paul Vssili OBJ
serves, of angling the English and Amer
leans. He has restored the covering OF
Michael Angeles cupola, and near it he
has caused tablet to be placed with the
inscription, "Leo NH, Pope" This,
says the Count, whose own knowledge OF
the past is not always re
marsable for its depth or accura-
cy, will make English tourists
think that Michael Angelo was cOutem-
porary of Leo NIL, ana not Leo y Tn
like his predecessors, WIN imprisoned the
"starry Calico" the present Pope be-
lieves in modern scientific improvements,
and has the Vatican lit, not only with
gas, but with the electric beams of
SIemen's apparatus. There is also n.y.
draulic lift in the Vatican, although it is
only used by the portly Monsignor Catal-
di, the Pope preferring to be carried about
in an old-fIshioled sedan chair. Greg
Org NNI., we are told, liked Paul de
K0ck and the Fathers of tine Church
more than newspapers. Pope Leo
loves the press, and has his own
journals and journalists. lie "trains
mis- reptiles, however, not like Bismarck,
to hiss and bite, but to crawl and grove"
The writer gives few meager specimens
of the Pope's Latin compositions, which
are, after all. not SO remarkable as the
Uniyers would have US believe. At their
best they are but limitations of Aurelius
Clemens Prudentius, one of the first Chris
tian poets, Of whom, perhaps, the Univers
and Count Paul Vasilli have heard little.
The conclusion of the interesting
article refers to the Pope's theo-
logical and political sentiments and pre-
objections. In theology Leo NH. discards
the Jesuits and Rosmini, and is heart and
soul for Thomas Aquinas and the Domin-
leans. In politics the Pope has shown
himself so good a diplomatist that Prince
Won Bismarck can, the writer thinks, re-
fuse him nothing. AS to the quarrel be-
tween the Vatican and the Quirinal, they
are mere family jars, which are, how
ever, courteously conducted; but the au-
thor of "Romau Society" believes that
after one or two pontlticates like the
present one the Italian government and
the Holy See will rule the Catholic world
together.

A gentleman informed THE GAZETTE
last night that it was settled that meet
ing of the directors of the Southern Kan
Sas of Texas would be held in Fort Worth
early in April.
The Texas and Pacific is doing an i'm

party of engineers, supposed to be in
the employ of the Chicago, Rock Island

the Iudian Territory. They are this side
of Elk creek and working toward Texas
rapidly.
1t was stated last night that the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande would begin track
laying before Saturday, but as President
PaddocE and Chief Engineer Parsons had
gone home when the .rumor was abroad,
the report could not be verified.
Grapevine and Plano have been heard
from in regard to the proposed line from
Fort Worth to a connection with other
roads at either Greenville or Sulphur
Springs. The live citizens and business
men of both places are not only willing
but ready and anxious to aid the road.
They say to put the proposition in shape
and they will respond literally. The gen.
tlemen who have the project in hand in
Fort Worth are not idle, but have been
working induStriOusly, and 1t is among
the certainties that before many days have
gone both the cities mentioned will
he interviewed in regard to the matter.
Grapevine and Plano as well as all other
points on the line will be greatly benefit
ed by the building of this road. and our
citizens are ready to do all that is in their
power to secure direct rail communica-
lion with them.

The Point Of Honor.
Boston Advertiser


Dugazon and Desessarts, comedians of
the Fraucais, went out one day to fight q
duel. The former was big, fat man,
the latter small and thin. The seconds
handed them the swords, and just as the
solemn Allez meisseurs! had been uttered,
Desesssrts suddenly cried out, "Stop q
minute; my enemy being more volumi-
nous than am, the chances are not
equal. Let me restore the equilibrium"
And gravely taking piece of chalk out
of his pocket, he proceeded to mark a
circumference on the chest of Dugazon.
"There," he exclaimed, sis ring; all
the blows ontside thst must not count"
Dugazon burst out laughing, and for
getting his wrongs, threw his weapon
down and shook hands with Desessarts,
declaring his honor more than satisfied.

New YORK, Feb. The Tribune this

money into q fund which will 90 to the

strikers, and it is asserted positively BY
some of them that it will be put into or

would be done with the eyicted people
one of them replied: "You can't evict the
whole city" One Of the curious features
of the strike is that the headquarters of
District Assembly No. 40 are without
coal, and the officers and committees of
the district and their visitors have to keep.

Quinn was requested by some of the

The second article on Roman society

pseudonym of Count Paul Vaslli Is de-
voted to the Pope and the Vatican. As
an English nobleman remarked of the
fathers of the church. it is most amusing
reading, and the characteristics Of Leo

brilliant, il fiippant and hasty, touch.

binary subjects from the level OF piati-

ing the Pope from the charges of avarice,
the writer does not forget to point out
that, while Pho Mono distributed aims with
q lavish hand, Leo XIII. seems to
weigh every scudo he bestows on the
poor. He cannot be accused of using the
church funds for the benefit of his rela-
tiSes, as he only gave Camille Pecci, his
favorite nephew, sum on his marriage
which the son of an opulent grocer would
despise. The revenues are comparatively
meager. They accrue from the capital left
